INTRODUCTION
Description of the multiplex network:
The multiplex network consists of a twisted pair of wires connected to several vehicle computers. The two wires are
known as Can H and Can L.
Two of the computers have an internal resistance of 120 Ω (terminating resistance):
–the airbag computer
–the injection computer
The network carries data exchanged by the computers.
The Scénic II is a new-generation multiplex vehicle; the main change is the increase in communication speed to
500 kBauds.
On the Scénic II, only one multiplex network can be diagnosed with the RENAULT tool.
The maximum number of computers on this network is 15.
PURPOSE:
●The purpose of the multiplex network test is to determine the various computers present on the vehicle's multiplex
network as well as the cause of possible inter-computer communication failures.
●It also serves to determine the functions installed in the vehicle, which are sometimes housed in various
computers (distributed functions).
●The test also checks the condition of multiplex network segments.
●The multiplex network test can also run diagnostics on computers disconnected from the multiplex network; this
provides an overview of the vehicles electronic architecture. WARNING
Fault-finding on the Scénic II can only be done with the CLIP diagnostic tool fitted with the new vehicle
connection probe cord (part no. Elé 1674 or 00 00 167 400).
Note:
A second multiplex network for the navigation system may also be present.

MONITORING MULTIPLEX NETWORK OPERATION
This step is the essential starting point before any computer diagnostics.
It ensures that the network is correctly connected at the terminals of each computer and that the signal is correctly
sent to it and received by it. On the Scénic II, this function also reads the number of faults present in the computers.
The
multiplex network test function is executed automatically after vehicle selection by the user.
After the network check, the other functions become accessible.
MULTIPLEX NETWORK TEST PROCEDURE:
⇒
Communication established with the computers storing the vehicle configuration (identification read).
⇒
Vehicle configuration read in the two computers that hold the multiplex network configuration (airbag and
UCH on the SCENIC II)
⇒ List of diagnosable computers read in the two configuration computers
⇒ Computer interrogation
⇒ Physical (electronic) measurements on the CAN network. Vehicle computer power supply for diagnostics:
Vehicle card in card reader.
Press and hold (over 5 seconds) the Start button in the absence of start conditions (for example: selecting a
gear).
Connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
Important: To power the discharge bulb computers, the dipped headlights must be turned on.

FAULTY SEGMENT
NOTESFirst check that the computer at the end of the faulty segment is properly
supplied (earth, + battery, + accessories or + after ignition).
Always check that the computer is operating correctly.
Important: the tool may not be able to pinpoint the faulty segment(s). It then suggests
several segments that could be faulty. In this event, repair the segment nearest to the
diagnostic socket.
Isolate the faulty segment by disconnecting both ends of the segment. Check the condition of the connections.
Check the continuity of the Can H and Can L lines between the two connectors of the isolated segment.
Refer to the Help with finding short circuits section for computer and connection track allocations.
Perform the necessary operations to ensure the continuity of the two lines (for example, replacing the wiring).
Make sure the computer present in the vehicle is compatible with the Scénic II and that the data it is producing
is correct.
Reconnect the segment.
Carry out a new multiplex network test with the diagnostic tool.
Is the segment still declared faulty?
NoEnd of fault finding.
YesAre there other faulty segments?
NoRepeat the multiplex network tests to check the continuity and
insulation of the Can H and Can L lines between the end of the
faulty segment and the diagnostic socket.
YesApply the same procedure to each segment.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a new multiplex network test with the diagnostic tool.
